The above info is very detailed. The link above that has a link to my site that has been discontinued. The correct link is

It's not as detailed but has a pretty good list of the components and
some tips that I found usefull when I did mine.

You have one of the following:
1. The tabs are broken or incorrectly repaired.
2. The windshield channel is not straight (usually caused by a new surround or nose improperly installed on the car.
3. Not enough shim on the post studs
The glass is not too small. When the frame is assembled, and not on the car, you should not be able to push down on the header (center), and have any amount of "play". If it feels tight, try adding some shims to "hold" the post in a more upright position when you install it on the car. Keep in mind that the rubber shims under the post will compress if you tighten too much. If you have to use more than 4 shims (special rubber type), then you have something else wrong. The "normal/typical" is two or three. Also keep in mind that as you shim the posts, you move the latching points for the top (hard or soft) forward. If the top frame is not adjusted correctly, it will "pull" the header loose from the glass.
